Rosemead: Get Shaved

We started off our day at the Orange International Food Fair and I noticed on twitter that GetShaved was going to be in Rosemead at 2:00, and Diamond Bar at 6:00. 

I was originally planning on going to Diamond Bar, but at the last minute, we decided to drive 40 minutes to Rosemead! We scanned the streets, expecting a big truck, but found instead a food.. van?

So which is better? Tropical Shave Ice or Get Shaved?  You’ll have to chase the trucks and find out for yourself… 

Get Shaved… um, van?
Pineapple with red bean and condensed milk (left) and
Blue Vanilla with red bean and condensed milk. Total for both $6
Very tasty, refreshing but smaller than @TropShaveIce (for the same price)

OC Truck Summit: Lime Truck, SeaBird Truck, Oh For Sweets Sake!

On Wednesdays, trucks are now converging to Irvine at Teller and Michelson for the “OC Truck Summit”.  On this day, Barcelona on the Go, The Lime Truck, Piaggio on Wheels, Crepes Bonaparte, Oh For Sweets Sake! cupcakes, SeaBirds Truck, Dos Chinos and DanDanBBQ were at this gathering.  I met my sister for lunch (as she works across the street) and we shared a few items

Fullerton: Tropical Shave Ice

After Kogi, we went to downtown Fullerton to find the Tropical Shave Ice truck. They were officially closed (they had to get to Irvine) but were nice and let us place our 2 orders!

Summer 2010: Piaggio, SeaBird, Dos Chinos, Tropical Shave Ice

During the summer my friends and I would dine at the trucks around Orange County, particularly eating Piaggio on Wheels and Crepes Bonaparte. 

In August 2010 new trucks started popping up.
Here we are at the Blackmarket Bakery with a few trucks…
